Finding F-1723
“Young and adult women had not only the highest absolute exposure to particulate matter (2,795 and 4,898 μg/m3 average daily exposure concentrations, respectively) but also the largest exposure relative to that of males in the same age group (2.5 and 4.8 times, respectively).”
Structure
- Source
- Biomass fuel
- Factor
- Particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀)
- Setting
- personal exposure of young women in households burning biomass, KE
- Study design
- measurement study of rural households in Kenya burning biomass: particle concentrations measured continuously in the houses together with observation of where each household member was and what they were doing, from which daily exposure concentrations were calculated for demographic groups (class 4)
- Effect
- mean 2795
- Caveat
- an exposure concentration reconstructed from measured room concentrations and observed time-activity patterns, not a reading from a personal monitor
